The Girl They Ignored Returned as the Woman Seven Men Would Die For novel Chapter 88

For the rest of the afternoon.

Lucas brought Mika to the lawn party, formally introduced her to everyone, and publicly expressed his gratitude.

Lucas's social circle consisted almost entirely of second-generation heirs from Juniper Springs, though none of their family backgrounds could hold a candle to his.

To them, Lucas wasn't just a friend; he was a vital social resource. Coupled with the fact that Mika already had a stellar reputation at school, the crowd was incredibly welcoming.

In no time, everyone was eagerly rushing over to greet Mika, proactively asking to add her on social media.

Because Lucas had given a prior warning, Seraphina truly didn't hear a single malicious whisper.

However, the crowd's attitude toward her was freezing cold compared to the royal treatment Mika received.

As Mika's recently reconciled "best friend," even though she desperately wanted to mingle with Lucas, she had to bury her ambitions and trail beside Mika like a mere accessory.

Back when she was the one being worshipped, Mika had always been the accessory.

But this time, the tables were completely turned. No matter how much of a campus belle Seraphina was, the crowd only had eyes for the billionaire heir's "savior."

A few guys did approach to get Seraphina's number, but they all wore sleazy, predatory grins.

It seemed her ruined reputation made them think she was easy prey for a quick fling.

After all, she was the campus belle. Even if her background wasn't good enough for marriage, parading her around as a girlfriend for a while would still earn them bragging rights.

Having never faced such blatant disrespect, Seraphina gritted her teeth as she exchanged contacts, her jealousy and hatred for Mika burning brighter by the second.

When she finally found an opening to strike up a conversation with Lucas while Mika was in the restroom, he didn't even look her way.

Lounging in a white French wrought-iron chair, he lazily lifted his eyes.

"Don't forget what you promised. At dinner tonight, I expect to hear a very sincere apology to Mika."

Seraphina's face drained of color.

She only agreed to Lucas's condition because she was absolutely certain Mika wouldn't forgive her. If Mika had agreed to make up, she was supposed to apologize for maliciously doubting her at the track and gossiping about her mother's private life.

But how was she supposed to know Mika would intentionally accept the apology and trap her in this agonizing dilemma?!
